Day of the
Dino pt. 1
Airdate: 2/14/04
We find Tommy alone on an island, being
chased by Tyrannodrones.
He outruns them and manages to escape the
island before it sinks.
Years later, Dr. Oliver begins working at
Reefside High as a high school science teacher. He meets
the new principal, Ms. Randall.
As he begins class, he gets some
grief from the resident busybody, school reporter
Cassidy. Tommy notices a student is missing.
That student is Conner McKnight, soccer
star, who is busted for truancy by Principal Randall.
Randall also busts musician Kira Ford for
performing on school grounds without permission.
Finally, she rounds up high tech
prankster Ethan James, and brings them all to detention
with Dr. Oliver.
Instead of detention, Tommy takes the
kids to the museum. He sends them off to find artifacts.
As Tommy notices that the museum is now
run by Anton Mercer, he is confronted by a T-Rex.
In the woods, the kids fall into a
sinkhole. Unsure of how to get out, the kids explore the
caverns.
A car chase later, and the T-Rex is out
cold, and revealed to be mechanical.
The kids stumble across some kind of high
tech underground lair, and take some glowing gems from a
stand.
As soon as they find their way out,
they're attacked by Tyrannodrones. The kids discover that
the gems have given them powers, and defeat the creatures
using them.
Soon, everyone meets back up in the
woods, and pretend as if nothing happened.
Back at school, a fed up Kira hands over
her gem to the guys, only to be abducted by
Tyrannodrones.
Conner and Ethan run to Dr. Oliver's
house for help, only to find a secret entrance to the
same lair.
Tommy finds the kids snooping, and is not
pleased.
